Geezers on wheels like Austin

Serious cyclists already know that Austin is a great place to ride and now Masters Athlete magazine (formerly known as Geezer Jock) has named the city the No. 2 best cycling city for masters riders. The Texas state capital got high marks for its climate and terrain, training facilities, events and number of fellow riders.

The No. 1 city was Durango, Colo. Rounding out the top five were Bend, Ore., Moab, Utah, and Lake Tahoe, Calif.

According to USA Cycling (the sport’s national governing body) masters cyclists have been behind the growth of competitive mountain, track and cyclo-cross registration.
